The best animal experience
Our bespoke tours of Whipsnade Zoo will give you an exclusive look at the Zoo and give you the chance to make memories that will last a lifetime.
We’ll ask all about your animal interests before you arrive, so that you can enjoy a tailored tour, guided by one of our zoo experts. You will get the chance to learn more about your favourite animals and our latest arrivals! There will be the chance to get closer to our animals, ask all your burning questions to our zookeepers and make incredible memories, whilst seeing some of the world’s most endangered species and ZSL’s vital wildlife conservation work.
You have the chance to choose from two tour options and a range of exclusive add-ons to make your day even more special. After your tour, you will be able to explore Whipsnade Zoo for the rest of the day!
